I would like more people to cycle so that they can discover the sheer joy of it.

In previous lives, I was a coach and cycle trainer for British Cycling and various London Boroughs, and used some of the time to train adults and children to cycle safely on London's streets. I'd happy to train you or put you in others that can.

This August I'll be cycling along the River Rhine from its source in Switzerland and across Europe, something close to a 1000 miles over two weeks. And I'd like to use the trip to raise funds to buy cycling equipment for Alperton Community School: helmets, cycle locks, as well as cycles so that more people are encouraged to cycle.

I'd be really grateful if you could support this endeavour.
